How to Make Something You're Not Supposed to Make

How to Make Something
You're Not
Supposed to Make


It looks like the big G in the  
Internet sky is allowing my  
emails to pass unencumbered,
so I'll run this ditty, found by  
my intrepid sometimes  
assistant, being that the  
Internet is down and I'm using  
my phone to do this. 
 
This morning's clip gets down  
to the nuts and bolts of MAD.

The exact details of how to build  
a nuclear weapon remain classified 
and under the Atomic Secrets Act,  
they're illegal to publish in the  
United States.  
 
On those fine points, a video
 
explanation video explanation by
Bill Hammack, an engineering
professor at the University of
Illinois-Champaign cuts close to
the mark - but not as close as an
even more detailed explanation
published by The Progressive
magazine in 1979.
 
The Progressive's story, now
available elsewhere on the Web,
triggered the second government  
action of its kind, against the press 
to suppress knowledge of the  
atomic  bomb's design.
 
The Department of Energy had
previously dropped a restraint order,
after a long legal battle.
 
Hammack's explanation here is an
excellent primer - for educational
purposes only, of course. One may
as well know something about the
weapon which has defined our Age.
